@thejessebarney@JonesDanny How do you know they were the minority at the time? Mind you this is early days of christianity where there was no established institutionalised christianity.
@phatseoinage @The_Hellenist The Egyptians themselves did not syncretise Set with Yahweh but there is evidence that the nomads of those lands were reffered to as "Shasu of Yhw".

@JoelWebbon Christ means “smeared.” He was called “the Smeared One” because he used to smear pharmakon on his own face and on the faces of others as part of a psychedelic ritual. He was arrested in a public park in the middle of the night with a naked young man.
@Templarpilled This is the only moment even remotely resembling violent behavior that Christians can point to—flipping a table like an angry, rebellious teenager? Pathetic.
This only further demonstrates that Christianity is fundamentally a pacifist religion.
@caulin001 Or perhaps the mainstream christian narrative was later reshaped to fit the mythic and cultural milieu of the time? Perhaps people employed certain narrative hints so that people of the time would relate more to an otherwise foreign and alien story?
@paradiselost246@The_Hellenist The One/Absolute can only be worshipped by establishing a complete cultus deorum of its Henads - The gods. How do you reconcile Neoplatonic polytheism with abrahamism, which is strictly monotheist?
@1stbornson1@RTSG_Main They will claim that this is precisely the exceptional superiority of Christianity: that it offers forgiveness and salvation, so you can be gay and a furry, just as long as you’re Christian, you’re saved.
